Pros

Good for resume and advancing out of the company. Some good pockets of leadership within.

Cons

A ton of bureaucracy and politics leading to unnecessary engineering work (engineers trying to get promoted by “redesigning” a system that doesn’t need to be redesigned).

Constant reorganizations in poorly managed orgs (leading to a ton of time trying to figure out who owns what, before getting reorged AGAIN).

The org I was in got LESS diverse and more political as time went on because upper-level management kept pulling members of their old org teams into the current one and giving the new members more deference.
